Bennigans makes Florida return in Melbourne

Located on W. New Haven Ave. in West Melbourne, the nation’s newest Bennigan’s hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday.

“The excitement throughout Brevard County has been palpable with raving Bennigan’s fans calling and sending us messages non-stop asking when we will be opening; so I am pleased to say the answer is ‘Now!’” said Gonzalez. “We can’t wait to welcome everyone to our beautiful new restaurant, which features our contemporary prototype design along with all the delicious food, drinks and friendly service you expect from Bennigan’s. So come on in, sink your teeth into a World Famous Monte Cristo and let us treat you to a truly memorable dining experience.”

The West Melbourne Bennigan’s features the chain’s newly introduced exterior design and signage prototypes, along with contemporary features such as upgraded furniture and flooring, a comfortable enclosed patio area with a 70” flat-screen TV, several additional large flat screen TVs in the bar, eight beers on tap and more than 20 signature cocktails.

“Marisol and Allamm have built an absolutely gorgeous new Bennigan’s and I have no doubt that the folks in and around West Melbourne will welcome the restaurant with open arms,” said Mangiamele. “Their timing is impeccable too, as we are celebrating Bennigan’s 40thanniversary throughout 2016. We are committed to reclaiming our rightful place as the innovator and leader of the casual dining industry, and it all starts in great towns like West Melbourne.”

Hours of operation for the West Melbourne Bennigan’s are 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
